Mission Reunion and Yellowstone

Last weekend was my mission reunion...loved every minute of it! I can't believe it has almost been two years since I got home...crazy! It was so good to see my mission president and his wife, oh how I have missed them. It was also so good to see so many of my mission buddies, although I wish all of them could have been there (Brooke and Angela.) I honestly was smiling the whole time, which probably was a little weird but, I was just so happy to be there.

Crystal, Hayley, and I

Me, Maycee and Julianne (I love this picture because we have one exactly like it that was taken 3 years ago on Maycee's baptism day in Miri.)

Crystal and I with Sister Skelton...oh how I love that lady!

President Skelton and I, he had everyone laughing all night long!

I really didn't want to see the night end but, unfortunately it did...sad day. But, lucky enough for me on Tuesday I got to have some more fun with my mission buddies. Hayley, Matt and I took a little excursion up to Yellowstone, filled with sulfur-smelling geysers, self-timer photos and a up-close encounter with a buffalo!

It smelt horrible but, looked cool so we decided to take a pic!

Old Faithful, a must see in Yellowstone

One of my favorite self-timed photos, the newest explorers of Yellowstone
Me and the buffalo, i was probably to close but, Matt told me to run in serpentine patterns if it started to charge so I felt like I knew what I was doing...haha!

My favorite pic of the trip...it's priceless! They look like they are on a safari, with Hayley's figure over her mouth and Matt crouching down.

Such a great few days, I wish I could always see those people but, I guess that's what makes it special when you do see them after a long time. Can't wait for the next reunion!
